Aug. 22, 2008 — Lee Ann Womack has done quite well in Nashville’s music business, which is not an easy feat. But the acting industry in Los Angeles can be even tougher to crack, which makes Lee Ann a bit nervous for 17-year-old daughter Aubrie, who’s got some acting ambitions.
With that in mind, Lee Ann got a little firsthand experience with the camera and the process of making movies when she was asked to act in an independent film called Noble Things.
"There were some kids in Beaumont that were making a film about a murder, and they reached out to me to play a part in it," Lee Ann told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "I’d never wanted to act, but my daughter, Aubrie, has always wanted to act, and I’ve always been scared of the whole thing because I don’t know anything about that business. This, our business, is so controlled and nice and I know everybody, and ‘I thought I’ll just do this project, and I’ll just see what it’s all about.’ And I became even more convinced that I hope she decides not to go into that field."
Tracy Byrd also had a role in the picture, which was shot in 2006. The film has a website, noblethingsmovie.com, but it does not indicate that a release date is imminent. In the meantime, Lee Ann has pegged Oct. 7 as the release date for her next album, Call Me Crazy.
